THEY gaveled in EVERY 3 DAYS during that time and moved the process so quickly that they REFUSED to swear in Adelita Grijalva the entire time after she won the special election in AZ to replace her father Raul Grijalva.

This was the situation every 3 days during the AWOL House stunt (in the below example the Chair ignored Jaime Rsskin's request to make a motion to initiate the sweating in) -

@atrupar
RAJU: Earlier this year you swore in 2 Republican members during a pro forma session. So why not swear in Adelita Grijalva who was elected 2 weeks ago? Does it have to do with her 218th signature on the Epstein discharge petition?

MIKE JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that at all. We will swear her in when everybody gets back

RAJU: Why not now?

JOHNSON: Uh -- we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants
